Joshua Bloch famously admitted that his implementation of an algorithm to do this for the Java Development Kit could lead to an integer overflow error because of a line that added low and high values and dived by two. This operation can be performed with a high probability of success in Big O of N to the one half time using a quantum computing algorithm called Grover's Algorithm. One form of this operation can be performed on strings using the (*) Rabin-Karp algorithm. One of the simplest ways to perform this operation runs in Big O of log N time and works by continually calculating a midpoint and determining if the midpoint is lower or higher than the desired value; that is the binary form of this operation. For 10 points, name this type of algorithm at the heart of websites like Bing and Google.
